They've postponed it how many times now?  If they reclassify almost every school will drop down.  will be an absolute trainwreck.

If all schools have lost kids, which I’m sure is true, then what’s the big issue? It should balance out and be fair.

if it's not accurate, it's not fair.  That will be the issue.

Why wouldn’t it be accurate? At the current time, they all have the same rules to follow in figuring the enrollment numbers.

Not now.  None of them are accurate.  Every district has lost kids to "Home school" during the pandemic.  This is a non-issue.  There won't be a reclassification anytime soon.

There is a difference between home school and online school.  Most kids went to online school and those kids still count against the numbers.

Every district has done it differently.  It's not accurate.

The enrollments include all virtual and in person students. If a kid dropped out for home school, so be it...nobody can control that and there are no guarantees they ever return to school anyway. Therefore, we move on...just like any other year.

Some districts made virtual separate schools.  Others included them in the regular school populations.  TSSAA gave no guidance.

Those virtual schools, however, still count towards the enrollments. Also, how many districts did this?

They would count toward the district's enrollment.  Not the schools.  I don't think there's any way of knowing who did what.

I would think that’s the Board’s job to determine that. It should not be too hard.

District's aren't always honest.  It wouldn't be hard.  But it also wouldn't be hard to be deceptive.

If what Gut says is true, this could be a challenging task, particularly in districts that have multiple high schools. Knox County didn't do it the way he described, but if there are counties that lumped every virtual student into the same pot, this won't be a simple bean counting exercise.
